Pls when you submitted another EA request in Abuja, did you put in your application statement that you had first applied in Lagos but it took too long? Do you think that would help?
This is not necessary atall.Just apply for your EA straight with all your supporting documents and written note why you applying.

Hello everyone, I just scheduled an emergency appointment with the US embassy last night. After submission, I noticed a typographical error was made.

My earliest entry date into the US is July 22 2022. I made an error in the Tentative Travel Date by putting 4/26/2022 as against 7/26/2022 which is when I hope to enter the
United States.

I have called the embassy, us visa office, sent a mail and they said my entry cannot be modified. I should wait for a response either approving or denying my request.

The emergency visa appointment can only be requested once and if denied in Abuja consulate, cannot be done in Lagos consulate. What are the chances of getting an emergency date with my error form? As it may be seen as prolly trying to play a fast one...

If an emergency appointment was rejected? What is the best solution to reverse this to be in time for studies by mid August?

If the emergency visa appointment is rejected, is it possible to pay another visa fee and be able to select another appointment? Has anyone had a peculiar case, what's the way forward?

@justwise please
First of all you should have waited for 60days to apply for EA,that is the Requirement. Its always important to follow the rules.

If your EA is rejected, change location from Abuja to lagos and reapply in due time if you have not changed location before o,thats all I can suggest now. Hear from others, goodluck.

Pls advice... my school is asking for bank statement as part of the application process.. my sponsor said his bank statement is not ready yet( as in funds not yet avaliable but will be in a month or two). I thought the bank statement will be required after admission to issue form 1-20. What do i do application deadline is so close. My sponsor however has a previously printed bank statement that was printed in january when he went to europe on a business trip but the money is nolonger avaliable. Can i send that bank statement to the school to get admission and then before visa send an updated bank account with the required funds before the form 1-20 is issued? I am afraid the school will contact the bank and find out the funds is nolonger avaliable. Does the university contact the bank to verify bank statements?
The university has confirmed i can use a different bank statement for form 1-20 if i want to. Should i send this bank statement of my sponsor even if the money us nolonger there just to meet up the application deadline?
Sure you can.Use the already printed one for the admission process .I do not think schools confirm such form Nigeria banks

Hi everyone please I need help/suggestions:
I was denied B1/B2 in 2017 and 2018....

I have travel history(South Africa-2016 and India-2017) on my lost passport.... I just filled my ds 160 and I stated that "I have not travelled in the pass five years.

If the VO ask me "Have I travelled before" what should my response be? considering my new passport doesn't show it.
You traveled in 2017,that was last 5yrs.Better update your ds 160 and fill it up because it's even an advantage for you.

Moshkom:
Hey, I got tagged. Lol

Sorry for the denial bro, e dey happen; we move and re-fire.

Quick one: Do you know the course you’ve at hand is a ‘Ritual Course’, in this path? Chemistry? Ah! Chemistry hot die for Yankee schooling process.

Saying the above to let you know that you can have a better offer (not that 10k) from schools with your course, if you have a good profile and package your application well.
With a better offer, you have less hurdle to face in the embassy. That one go even give you confidence on its own.

One of my person off here, got the below offer in your same field, days ago:

Tuition off
Stipend
Housing allowance
Medical insurance
Meal ticket

Ehn en! about your transcript below is my PERSONAL OPINION:

“Tell Me your Future Plan”
- You firstly need to let the VO know you’re coming back.
How would you do that?
- After my studies, I WILL BE COMING BACK TO MY CURRENT PLACE OF WORK to take up this and that role or COMING BACK to do this and that in my current place of work.

The VO, would easily reply, “Oh! You mean, you’re coming back your current of work?”
You, “Yeah, I am actually on a study leave, after my degree. . . “

This would show as “home-tie” also serve as your PRIMARY GOAL.

Then you can now continue with that your initial talks about this and that, that would be your LONG TERM goal.

You giving that answer, shows like you actually don’t really have a plan after you study, meaning if you see a better plan there in the USA you might stay back study, which them don’t want.

Another one:
How was your ds160 work section filled?

Your current work align as a Chemistry Student?
Your last degree na Chemistry?

Because you can’t just jump and be doing this and going for that, dem no like am.

Ofc, work on your Confidence level, super important. They need you to be sharp with your answers. Sharp not fast.

PS: Above are my PERSONAL OPINIONs, it might count; it might not.

In your next attempt, make sure you’ve a change in your profile before you go again. Because it would be new questions and new VO.

GOOD LUCK Champ!!!!!
Oh im late Moshkom,thank you somuch!.

See ehn my ds 160 was not well detailed atall,cos I used agent the ist time, so no previous work experince was filled and I wasn't informed but now I'm more informed.

I studied Science Laboratory Technology and Chemistry, yea in my undergraduate. So it align with what I want to do in my masters.I have also undergone some training also which comes with certificates. But the agent didn't ask me for all these,so my work area in the ds 160 was not detailed atall.I will surely contact you again when next I update my ds 160.

Thank you somuch for the insights especially letting them know that I'm coming back to Nigeria firstly.

Your opinion always count for me o pls,ALWAYS!.


For schools I can get full funding and GA offers, I sincerely wish to see those that can offer me that without GRE cos i do not have GRE yet.

Hello guys,

I am trying to apply to Ball State and they are asking for unofficial NACES member transcript evaluation before my application is reviewed which is actually annoying because all the other schools I applied to accepted my unofficial university transcript and asked for official transcript after admission was granted.

Now I have to pay about $200 for a school I am not sure I would end up attending. I am considering this school because of the chance of receiving an assistantship but I am just reconsidering now.

Any thoughts please?
Not a wise thing to do unless if you have excess money.There are other schools that do not need all these.

Visa denied on 15th Nov 2021.
First attempt.
Funding:10k usd
Deficit:22k usd.

Location Abuja.
Vo:The Korean guy.


Vo: Place your fingers for biometric.
Me: I was shivering already ,then after the biometrics.
Vo: You are going to the University of New Haven to study Masters in Chemistry?
Me: Yes Sir
Vo: Have you traveled out of Nigeria Before ?
Me: No
Vo:Where do you work?
Me:I am a Quality Control Analyst with ,,,so so company.
Vo:Tell me your future plans?
Me: After my masters in Chemistry, I would love to work with the Standard Organisation of Nigeria as a Quality Control Officer.They are the Govt agency responsible for setting and maintaining Standards with the imported goods and locally manufactured products in Nigeria.I have had this close working relationship with them and have attended somany training with them.Again I intend Operating my own Standard Laboratory because I'm committed to having this career that will enable me mentor and lead the young Graduate aspiring level researchers and Analysts.
Vo:I'm sorry i won't be approving your Visa this time, please do reapply and he handed me the 214b.


To be sincere I didn't even know how I answered all these but I knew i did.I was so nervous ehn,infact I suffer from Anxiety. So it was hard for me seeing that no one else was approved among all the people inside the room with me untill my turn.And were asked literally the same questions,so even before it got to me,I already knew what to expect.


Joining Nairaland and many groups after this denial made me realize that CONFIDENCE and making EYE CONTACT while talking is very important.
I realised also that i didn't give a detailed answer atall especially my work.What I do as an Analyst and how long I have worked .I also realised that it's important to carry VO along by the way you link your answers .

Again in my future plans,I was suppose to say that I'm coming back to my place of work for a higher position first and probably relate how getting degree in masters in Chemistry would help me for the new work and maybe link it with my research interest
Then if I'm opportuned to speak more,I can now tell the Vo my longterm plan of Operating my own Standard Laboratory and how getting masters would help to achieve that.


I'm open for more Criticisms and corrections please �.

Hello Gurus,,correct me pls.

Your visa was denied and you didn’t bother sharing your transcript so that others will advise or possibly learn. Not a good practice on this platform.

I wish you good-luck with your date search and ultimately, visa.
